Not entirely convinced. Sports shooters already have a D4, and will get a D400 soon to complement them, why do they need a third one?

What Nikon will/should release is a trophy camera to wave around, meaning a D4x with 56mp. The trophy camera, will obviously not be the camera that will make the company rich, but it is meant to make ripples in the market. What Nikon really needs, is the real/legitimate D700 replacement that is long overdue.
